Booking a luxury limo or black-car service in the San Francisco Bay Area is more than just picking a vehicle and hop-in. After 20 years of experience, Eagle Limos understands that clear pricing, service expectations, and smart planning make all the difference.

Transparent Rates & Smart Booking: What You Should Know Before You Reserve with Eagle Limos

This blog walks you through the key rate factors on our rate page and offers practical advice so you know exactly what to expect before you schedule your ride.

The Basics: Starting Rates and Important Notes

On our rates page, we present starting rates for various services. These are not fixed quotes, but the baseline from which your final charge may vary. Why? Because every ride is unique.

Key points to remember:

Rates shown are “starting from” amounts. Final charges may vary based on: vehicle type, time of day, number of passengers, special requests, tolls, parking/airport fees, and route complexity. (EagleLimos & Car Services in SF)
Minimum time and distance requirements apply (for example, for hourly charters within San Francisco).
After-hours or late-night pickups (typically between 12:01 am and 5:00 am) incur additional charges.
Multi-stop itineraries including city tours, wine tours or corporate events often require custom quotes.

The takeaway: treat the listed rate as a ballpark starting point, and always ask for a full quote tailored to your itinerary.

Understanding Additional Fees

To avoid surprises, here are the common supplementary charges listed on the rate page:

Additional Stop Fee: Starts at US $25, and depends on distance.
Waiting Time: First 10 minutes free; thereafter US $1 per minute plus an initial US $25 charge.
After-Hours Pickup (12:01 am–5:00 am): Additional US $25 per hour plus the regular rate.
No-Show Fees (without prior cancellation):
- SFO: US $80
- OAK: US $125
- SJC: US $235 (EagleLimos & Car Services in SF)

These fees are common across premium ground-transport services, but the advantage here is that they are clearly communicated in advance.

Here are some of the most common service categories and the starting rates posted:

City Transfers / Hourly Charters

Sedan (San Francisco): Minimum 2 hours at US $80/hr.
SUV (San Francisco): Minimum 3 hours at US $130/hr.

How to Use These Rates to Plan Smart

Here are some tips to leverage the rate information to get the most value and smoothest experience:

Define your exact itinerary – Know where you’re going, pickup time, number of passengers, luggage count, any extra stops. Provide that to Eagle Limos so they can quote accurately.
Pick the right vehicle size – If you’re traveling with kids, multiple bags, or extra gear, an SUV may be more comfortable, even if it costs more.
Allow for extras – Stopping for photos, waiting for delayed flight, multiple drop-offs? These can add time/waiting fees, so build in a buffer.
Check timing conditions – If your pickup is in the early hours (after midnight) or during a major event in San Francisco, expect after-hours rates or surge-type conditions.
Ask for a written quote – A detailed quote protects against surprise fees and ensures you understand the inclusions (tolls, parking, gratuity, waiting time) and exclusions.
Confirm cancellation policy and no-show fees – Understanding the policies up front (like the SFO/OAK/SJC no‐show charges) avoids future frustration.
